You probably don't want to send and receive from that box, anyway
--replies to your messages will not come back toi you.
You *could* set up you outgoing messages to automatically have the
"reply-to:" field set toyour ISP email address, and configure sendmail
(or whatever) to use a "smart upstream host", i.e., the isp mailserver.
A better bet is to configure your mail client to use the isp
mailserver(s).
